Via Michael Nielsen, a guest column by Aaron Hirsh at the NY Times on "A New Kind of Big Science":
There is another way to extend our scientific reach, and I believe it can also restore some of what is lost in the process of centralization. It has been called Citizen Science, and it involves the enlistment of large numbers of relatively untrained individuals in the collection of scientific data. To return to our architectural metaphor, if Big Science builds the high-rise yet higher, Citizen Science extends outward the community of villages.


The first step is to solve the crossword clues. While doing so, we might notice that the answers are in alphabetical order and are all six letters long. This helps us confirm most of our answers and once we have enough clues solved, we may notice that in fact the second and fifth letters of each answer are the same. Below are the answers to the crossword clues.
| Clue | Answer |
|---|---|
| Witty remark | BONMOT |
| Alternative to Greek salad | CAESAR |
| French pianist Alfred | CORTOT |
| Tyson show | COSMOS |
| Double dagger | DIESIS |
| ____ bubble | DOTCOM |
| Non-competitive race | FUNRUN |
| They're often all scratched up? | LOTTOS |
| Title character of an Ozzy Osbourne album | MADMAN |
| Units of length in the UK | METRES |
| Performed wrongly | MISDID |
| Maxims | MOTTOS |
| Star jelly genus | NOSTOC |
| Competitor to OneNote | NOTION |
| Nag | PESTER |
| Wicker material | RATTAN |
| Parting place? | REDSEA |
| Rue | REGRET |
| Reposed | RESTED |
| Sports with a lot of horseplay? | RODEOS |
| In short supply | SCARCE |
| Kurdistan Province's capital | SENNEH |
| Snow White's dwarves e.g. | SEPTET |
| Member of the 2021 writing team, perhaps | SETTER |
| In a way | SORTOF |
| Japanese poems | TANKAS |
| Haiku e.g. | TERCET |
| Ring on a saddle | TERRET |
| Like the next clue, compared with this one | TERSER |
| Sluggish inactivity | TORPOR |
| Midsections | TORSOS |
| Command to delete files | UNLINK |
The heading for the crossword clues is "Individual Cross-stitches" and at the bottom of the page is a diagram that seems to indicate a cross-stitch. Although cross-stitches are often done in rows, it is possible to make an individual cross-stitch. When an individual cross-stitch is made, it follows a cross shape as in the diagram with the thread crossing in the middle. Since the second and fifth letters are the same in each crossword answer, this suggests that we can "cross-stitch" each word such that the second and fifth letters are the crossing in the middle. For example, the crossword answer BONMOT can be cross-stitched as follows.
N T O M B
We can then attempt to fill in these cross-stitched words into the grid given. Some uncommon letters are given to us to start with. We can fill in a few words using the given letters. Note that we make an assumption in the case of the F and K that both occurrences in our crossword answers use the given letter. This is in order to try filling in the grid as compactly and efficiently as possible.
| N | T | |||||||||||
| O | ||||||||||||
| M | B | |||||||||||
| N | N | |||||||||||
| U | ||||||||||||
| R | F | |||||||||||
| O | ||||||||||||
| T | S | |||||||||||
| N | S | |||||||||||
| A | ||||||||||||
| L | K | T | ||||||||||
| N | ||||||||||||
| I | U | G | T | |||||||||
| E | ||||||||||||
| R | R |
There are no further strong constraints on how to fill the remaining crossword answers into the grid, but playing around with some possible fills we find that the words intersect well, suggesting that we are doing the right thing. Some experimentation also reveals that the words must be quite tightly packed into the grid and that a greedy fill should get close to a complete solution. Indeed, just filling in the grid greedily by placing words wherever it can intersect two letters from another word gets us to a filled grid with only a couple possible ambiguities that are quick to eliminate via trial and error. The final filled grid is shown below.
| D | A | E | S | D | N | T | ||||||
| E | C | I | I | A | O | |||||||
| S | R | S | D | M | M | B | ||||||
| O | E | |||||||||||
| D | S | T | R | R | ||||||||
| O | E | E | ||||||||||
| E | R | T | S | T | N | N | ||||||
| A | E | O | A | U | ||||||||
| S | C | T | L | T | R | F | ||||||
| O | O | |||||||||||
| T | N | H | R | T | S | |||||||
| O | E | E | O | |||||||||
| I | N | S | R | R | T | M | ||||||
| A | E | O | O | O | ||||||||
| L | K | T | P | T | C | D | ||||||
| N | E | |||||||||||
| I | U | G | T | S | S | |||||||
| E | E | O | ||||||||||
| R | R | M | C |
Now that we've filled in all the cross-stitched words, we might notice that we haven't used the shaded red squares in the diagram at the bottom of the puzzle page. The diagram suggests that there is a recursive step where we wish to cross-stitch the filled grid somehow to extract the answer. If we look at the cross stitches present in the shaded red squares, it turns out that each of the shaded red regions corresponds to a 3×2 rectangle with some cells filled in by cross-stitches. This and the tactile nature of cross-stitching suggest that we should extract letters from the shaded red regions via Braille and cross-stitch one more time to get the final answer. Below is the filled in grid with appropriate shading to help determine the Braille letters.
| D | A | E | S | D | N | T | ||||||
| E | C | I | I | A | O | |||||||
| S | R | S | D | M | M | B | ||||||
| O | E | |||||||||||
| D | S | T | R | R | ||||||||
| O | E | E | ||||||||||
| E | R | T | S | T | N | N | ||||||
| A | E | O | A | U | ||||||||
| S | C | T | L | T | R | F | ||||||
| O | O | |||||||||||
| T | N | H | R | T | S | |||||||
| O | E | E | O | |||||||||
| I | N | S | R | R | T | M | ||||||
| A | E | O | O | O | ||||||||

| N | E | |||||||||||
| I | U | G | T | S | S | |||||||
| E | E | O | ||||||||||
| R | R | M | C |
Converting the Braille to letters and reading in the cross-stitch order gives the answer MANIAC.

Marilyn Beem
Democrat
I am retired from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) since 2004. I was a transportation planner during my employment with CDOT.
I received a Masters of Science Degree from Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, IL) in Geography. Upon graduation in 1972, I was employed as a planner by DuPage County Planning Department (IL), Lake County Planning Department (IL), and CDOT
80104
To the best of my recollection: I was a volunteer on Chase Kohne's campaign for Congressional District 4. I had donated money to his 2016 campaign. In 2020, I contributed money to the following campaigns, Joe Biden, Jamie Harrison, Amy McGrath, Ike McCorkle. I also contributed money to The Lincoln Project.
To the best of my recollection: I volunteered with Lutheran Family Service's Refugee/Asylee program (2018-2019). I am a volunteer with Casa de Paz's visitation program at GEO ICE Detention Center (Aurora, CO). I also participate occasionally with Douglas County Democrats.
As Statewide Planning manager with the Colorado Department of Transportation, I managed the process for long range transportation plans being prepared within the 15 Transportation Planning Regions around the state, which were then incorporated into the State's Long Range Transportation Plan. This process involved numerous meetings with the Statewide Transportation Advisory Committee, Regional Planning organizations, the Colorado Transportation Commission, and numerous public meetings.
I am deeply concerned with the non-democratic impact gerrymandering has had on our country's election process over many years. A functioning democracy must be based on all voters within any district having a reasonable opportunity electing a representative for that district reflecting the nature of the district.
I personally believe that both major political parties have been influenced by the significant amount of money coming from PACs, SuperPacs, and special interests. I have been so disheartened over the years with the waning ability of the voters to have influence with their elected officials. I believe that the best outcomes emerge from balanced representation rather than undue weighting of one side over the other. As a planner, I was aware of the magnitude of needs outweighing available resources for meeting those needs. Consequently, priorities needed to be established by generally agreed upon criteria. The best outcomes always involved no one constituency getting all of their needs met at the expense of others.
No one can have a comprehensive view of an issue or problem. A range of views and perspectives being shared benefit the group's ability to see the extent of an issue or problem and that allows for identification of mutually agreed upon common ground. Once that can be established, progress can be made towards solutions.

Komodo dragons have reddish saliva that contains 50 different types of bacteria. Only one bite induces blood poisoning of their prey.
Komodo dragons are the largest, heaviest lizards in the world and one of the few with a venomous bite. The stealth and powerful hunters rely on their sense of smell to detect food, using their long, forked tongues to sample the air. They can spend hours waiting for a sizable meal to wander within range before launching a deadly attack with their large, curved and serrated teeth.

The authomatic.js library is here to make your life even easier. It has a very tiny interface similar to it’s Python sibling. Yo can use it to:
- Process the login procedure in a popup window.
- Access protected resources in the most efficient way without any hassle.
Warning
The library is dependent on jQuery!
- authomatic.setup(options)¶
Sets up all the library’s options.
Arguments: - options (object) –
An object of following options:
- options.logging¶
bool If true the library will log a lot of information to the console.
Popup options:
- options.popupWidth¶
int The width of the popup in pixels. Default is 800.
- options.popupHeight¶
int The height of the popup in pixels. Default is 600.
- options.popupLinkSelector¶
string A jQuery selector specifying links that should be affected by authomatic.popupInit(). Default is 'a.authomatic'.
- options.popupFormSelector¶
string A jQuery selector specifying forms that should be affected by authomatic.popupInit(). Default is 'form.authomatic'.
- options.popupFormValidator¶
function A function which you can use to validate the form before the popup opens. It accepts the jQuery selected form. The popup gets opened only if it returns true.
Callbacks:
- options.onPopupInvalid¶
function Called when the popup form doesn’t pass validation. Accepts the form selected with jQuery as the only argument.
- options.onPopupOpen¶
function Called when the popup gets open. Accepts the popup location URL as the only argument.
- options.onLoginComplete¶
function Called when the popup gets closed after the login procedure is complete. Accepts the loginResult object as the only argument.
- options (object) –
- authomatic.popupInit()¶
If you call this function, all  and <form></form> elements with class="authomatic" will open a popup on click/submit. By links the location of the popup will be the value of href attribute, by forms the value of action attribute with query string extracted from the form inputs.
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>Login Popup Example<title>       Login with Facebook  <form class="authomatic" action="login/openid" method="GET"> <input type="text" name="id" value="me.yahoo.com" /> <input type="submit" value="Login with OpenID" /> </form>
- authomatic.access(credentials, url[, options])¶
Makes an asynchronous request to protected resource of a user.
Under the hood it tries to make the request as efficiently as possible with the aim to save your backend’s resources:
- By OAuth 2.0 providers:
- First a cross-domain XHR request is attempted.
- If that fails it continues either with:
- A JSONP XHR request but only if the provider supports it and the request method is 'GET'
- Otherwise it will fetch the provider through backend.
- By OAuth 1.0a providers the request must be signed using the consumer secret which cannot
be exposed in the client, so every request goes first to the backend.
Depending on provider the backend either:
- Fetches the provider and returns the result of the fetch.
- Returns signed request elements with which a JSONP XHR request is made.
Arguments: - credentials (string) – Serialized Credentials of the user.
- url (string) – URL of the protected resource. Can include querystring and template tags in the form of https://example.com/api/{user.id}/profile.
- options (object) –
An object of following options.
Note
You can also specify all of these options in the authomatic.setup(). Values specified here will override the values specified in authomatic.setup() with the exception of callbacks.
- options.backend¶
string URL of your login handler, or the handler where you call the Authomatic.backend() function.
Warning
This parameter is required by all OAuth 1.0a providers and also by some OAuth 2.0 providers.
- options.forceBackend¶
bool If true requests will be fetched through backend by all providers.
- options.substitute¶
object An object which will be used to replace template tags inside the URL. e.g. URL https://example.com/api/{user.id}/profile by substitute {user: {id: '123'}} will be rendered as https://example.com/api/123/profile.
- options.params¶
object The query parameters of the request.
- options.headers¶
object The HTTP headers of the request.
- options.body¶
string The body of the request.
- options.jsonpCallbackPrefix¶
string Some providers don’t support cross-domain requests. In such case the function tries a JSONP request and will generate a temporary callback in the global namespace with the name 'authomaticJsonpCallback#' where # is an integer unique for every callback. You can change the default 'authomaticJsonpCallback' to whatever you want by specifying it in this option.
Callbacks:
Warning
Callbacks specified in authomatic.setup() will not be overridden by those specified here, but both will be called, whereas those specified in authomatic.setup() will be called first.
- options.onBackendStart¶
function Called when authomatic.access() contacts backend. Accepts a object of parameters which will be sent to the backend as the only argument.
- options.onBackendComplete¶
function Called when response returns from backend. Accepts data, textStatus and jqXHR as arguments in the specified order.
- options.onAccessSuccess¶
function Called when a successful response returns from provider. Accepts data, textStatus and jqXHR as arguments in the specified order.
- options.onAccessComplete¶
function Called when any response returns from provider. Accepts textStatus and jqXHR as arguments in the specified order.
- By OAuth 2.0 providers:

Issue DESTRUCTURING-BIND
Category: CLARIFICATION/CHANGE
Edit history: 30-Jan-89, Version 1 by Pitman

9-Apr-89, Version 3 by Masinter
Incorporate amendments as per Mar 89 X3J13
10-Apr-89, V.4 Masinter (forgot an amendment)
Problem Description:
The description of the DEFMACRO lambda list currently contains some
mis-statements and leaves some ambiguities:
1. Can &BODY, &WHOLE, and &ENVIRONMENT appear at recursive levels of the
The description of &WHOLE (p145) specifies that &WHOLE must occur ``first
in the lambda list,'' but the description of a lambda list says that
``a lambda may [recursively] appear in place of the parameter name.''
Consequently, the question arises whether &WHOLE should be permitted to
be a synonym for &REST at inner levels of a DEFMACRO lambda list.
The descriptions of &BODY and &ENVIRONMENT do not contain syntactic
restrictions on where they may appear.
2. Does using &WHOLE affect the pattern of arguments permitted by DEFMACRO.
Proposal (DEFMACRO-LAMBDA-LIST:TIGHTEN-DESCRIPTION):
1. a. Specify that &BODY may appear at any level of a DEFMACRO lambda list.
b. Specify that &WHOLE may appear at any level of a DEFMACRO
lambda list. At inner levels, the &WHOLE variable is bound to
the corresponding part of the argument, as with &REST, but
unlike &REST, other arguments are also allowed.
c. Specify that &ENVIRONMENT may only appear at the top level of a
2. Clarify that using &WHOLE does not affect the pattern of arguments
specified by DEFMACRO.
3. Clarify that &ENVIRONMENT may appear anywhere in the top level
of a DEFMACRO lambda list, as in the following examples:
(&whole W &environment E A B) ``After &Whole''
(&environment E &whole W A B) ``Before &Whole''
(&whole W A B &environment E) ``Last''
(&whole W A &environment E B) ``Middle''
4. &ENVIRONMENT can only appear once in a DEFMACRO lambda list.
Examples:
1. (DEFMACRO DM1A (&WHOLE FORM A B) ...) is defined.
(DEFMACRO DM1B (A (&WHOLE B C &OPTIONAL D) E) ...) is defined.
It allows simultaneousaccess to the THIRD of the whole
form as B and to the destructuring of that list into
C and D.
(DEFMACRO DM1C (A B &ENVIRONMENT ENV) ...) is defined.
(DEFMACRO DM1D (A (B &ENVIRONMENT ENV) C) ...) is undefined.
(DEFMACRO DM1E (A B &BODY X) ...) is defined.
(DEFMACRO DM1F (A (B &BODY X) C) ...) is defined.
2. (DEFMACRO DM2A (&WHOLE X) `',X)
(MACROEXPAND '(DM2A)) => (QUOTE (DM2A))
(MACROEXPAND '(DM2A A)) is an error.
(DEFMACRO DM2B (&WHOLE X A &OPTIONAL B) `'(,X ,A ,B))
(MACROEXPAND '(DM2B)) is an error.
(MACROEXPAND '(DM2B Q)) => (QUOTE ((DM2B Q) Q NIL))
(MACROEXPAND '(DM2B Q R)) => (QUOTE ((DM2B Q R) Q R))
(MACROEXPAND '(DM2B Q R S)) is an error.
Rationale:
1. a. An example on p151 makes it clear that this was the intent.
b. There's no cogent reason to forbid &WHOLE at inner levels.
The example on p.150 uses &WHOLE in a non-top-level position.
This simplifies the implementation of DEFMACRO if we introduce a
DESTRUCTURING-BIND which does not understand &ENVIRONMENT.
c. The environment is never different at top level than embedded.
Permitting &ENVIRONMENT to occur embedded would only encourage
the misconception that there was a potential difference.
This simplifies the implementation of DEFMACRO if we introduce a
DESTRUCTURING-BIND which does not understand &ENVIRONMENT.
2. This allows useful syntax checking.
One can always trivially write
(DEFMACRO ... (&WHOLE FORM &REST IGNORE) ...)
to get around the error checking this forces.
3. <vote at Mar 89 X3J13>
Current Practice:
1. a. Symbolics Genera permits &BODY at any level. This is compatible.
b. Symbolics Genera seems to permit &WHOLE at any level. When embedded,
it is treated as a synonym for &REST.
c. Symbolics Genera does not permit &ENVIRONMENT except at top level.
This is compatible.
2. Symbolics Genera has this behavior when &WHOLE appears at top level,
but not at recursive levels (where &WHOLE is treated as a synonym for
&REST).
Cost to Implementors:
This seems to be what CLtL intended and what most implementations
perform.
Cost to Users:
We think this is possibly (probably) upward compatible with most
current practice.
Cost of Non-Adoption:
Some fuzzy places in DEFMACRO continue to exist.
It's harder to introduce DESTRUCTURING-BIND because describing its relation
to DEFMACRO is difficult.
Benefits:
The language is a little tighter.
Aesthetics:
Negligible impact.
Discussion:
Part 2 of this issue came up during the discussion of DOTTED-MACRO-FORMS
but was not pursued until now.
Pitman supports these clarifications.
A previous version disallowed &WHOLE at inner levels, because
of the mistaken impression that &WHOLE was equivalent to &REST.
However, additional arguments are not allowed after &REST,
while they are for &WHOLE.

The maintainer is responsible for managing the entire project. Everything.
It is a paid position
Because friendly competition is awesome, the BDFL is always looking for a new maintainer for the project
If you are interested in becoming the maintainer, let the BDFL know. You should be more committed to the project than the current maintainer, and preferably also be a superior software engineer. You should then fork the project and demonstrate to the community that you would be a better maintainer. You accomplish this feat by maintaining your fork in superior fashion.
It is not an insult to be surpassed by a new maintainer. It is a healthy event that this engineering methodology prescribes. Maintainers are committed to the project and are therefore pleased when a better maintainer comes along and relieves the current maintainer from his-or-her duties
defgetMonoid(x, y = None, monoids = __MONOIDS__):
Returns
the monoid for the datatype x.
Arguments
x is a datatype such as int, list, or dict
y is either None or a datatype such as int, list, or dict.
If y is not None then it should be equivalent to x. To be precise, equivalence here means that the monoid associated with y should be the same as the monoid associated with x.

Engineering methodology
I am developing Better Code Review using a novel engineering methodology based on my personal laziness:
I publish the specifications for a project on github
Sufficiently inspired developers collaborate by filing issues, submitting pull requests, and applying to become the maintainer
If you would like the maintainer to pay you for your pull request, don’t send it right away. Rather, file an issue explaining your planned pull request and negotiate from there
Read this explanation if you’re not already familiar with the concept of monoids in general.
Sets

defzero(self): return set()
defplus(self, x, y, monoids = None): return x | y
__MONOIDS__[set] = SetMonoid()
Dummy Comment
This code doesn’t actually require a comment.
I just did this to show off Better Code Review’s ability to handle recursion.
Isn’t that cool? :-)
# Overview
pyalgebra.py shows off how simple monoids are in Python.

When I worked at Twitter I often received the complaint that my code was too sophisticated and my colleagues couldn’t review it.  They could review my code — they were just being lazy.
But software engineers are supposed to be lazy, so we just have to accept and enjoy laziness.
Although I did my best to present my code well, no one ever reviewed it, so, eventually, I quit.
Today, I believe I’ve solved this problem with Better Code Review, a better code-review tool that makes it very enjoyable for lazy engineers to review sophisticated code.
 Just write your documentation in better-code-review format and continue making big money.
The big idea behind Better Code Review is to present code and its documentation in Sidenote format.
Monoids are one of the most beautiful abstractions in the history of The Human Understanding of Computation.
Monoids are great because they allow you to eloquently and easily express your wildest computations. As a consequence of eloquence and ease, you are more likely to have fun while writing correct code. Monoid computations also tend to be efficient.
Monoids are win, win, win all around.
Monoids used to be very estoric. But a relatively small community of hackers at various institutions teamed up and began releasing libraries that took monoids from theory into mainstream software engineering.
A lot of people think that monoids are super complicated, but, in fact, they are super simple. Monoids only seem complicated because discussions of monoids usually occur at unfamiliar levels of abstraction. Also, incumbent hipsters are incentivized to keep monoids esoteric.
I am betraying my hipster friends here and making monoids very simple in this documentation.
So, what are monoids?
Monoids are the things that allow Python to perform the plus computations in these examples. You’re smart, so study those examples and understand monoids.
How monoids work in pyalgebra.py
Every data type has a different monoid implementation.
So now you should learn about type classes and become even more hip. Plus you’ll need to understand type classes if you want to understand my other projects.
Lists
classListMonoid(Monoid):
defzero(self): return []
defplus(self, x, y, monoids = None): return x + y

Amit Shah to table report on President's rule in Maharashtra in Parliament today
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to table a report in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday regarding the President's rule in Maharashtra.
by Himanshu MishraHIGHLIGHTS
- Amit Shah is expected to table a report in Rajya Sabha on Presdent's rule in Maharashtra
- Maharashtra was placed under the President's rule on November 12
- Maharashtra governor had sent a report to MHA recommending President's rule
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to table a report in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday regarding the President's rule in Maharashtra.
Amid the ongoing political impasse, Maharashtra was placed under the President's rule on November 12 after Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari recommended the same in a report submitted with the Home Ministry. The governor had said there was no possibility of a stable government in Maharashtra given the current situation between the political parties.
The Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had then considered the report of the governor to the President that was submitted on November 12.
The Cabinet recommended that President Ram Nath Kovind issues a proclamation under Article 356(1) of the Constitution imposing President's rule in Maharashtra and keep the state legislative assembly under suspended animation.
On Wednesday, the union government will table this report on President's rule in Maharashtra.
SUSPENSE CONTINUES OVER GOVT FORMATION
Senior leaders of NCP and Congress are expected to hold yet another meeting on Wednesday to discuss a possible tie-up with ideological opponent Shiv Sena.
On Monday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar visited Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi at her residence to discuss the political stalemate in Maharashtra and the conditions on which the two parties can extend support to Shiv Sena.
Sharad Pawar said that he had only discussed the political situation in Maharashtra with Sonia Gandhi and the two parties will hold further talks with other allies before taking a decision on government formation in the state.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday said "it needs 100 births" to understand what Sharad Pawar says.
Sanjay Raut also said that a Shiv Sena-led coalition government will be in power in Maharashtra by early-December. "You don't worry about Pawar and our alliance. Very soon, by early-December, a Shiv Sena-led alliance government will be in power in Maharashtra. It will be a stable government," Sanjay Raut said on Tuesday.
PRESIDENT'S RULE IN MAHARASHTRA
The Maharashtra governor, in his report, had said that a situation had arisen in the state "in which it was impossible to form a stable government in the state".
The governor also noted that he made attempts to explore the possibility of government formation by holding appropriate communications with all political parties that could have formed the government in alliance with other political parties. None of the parties managed to show enough strength to form the government.
After BJP, the single largest party in Maharashtra assembly, declined to form the government with 105 MLAs and the Shiv Sena failed to get letters of support from the NCP and Congress, Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari invited NCP to express " willingness" to stake claim to form government.
However, the Governor, is his report, noted that NCP on November 12 conveyed to him that the party needs three more days to gather requisite support.
The governor felt that as 15 days have passed already, he was not in a position to give more time to any party.
President's rule has been imposed for six months and can be revoked anytime a party stakes claim and a situation emerges.

| EzyFit Installation |
EzyFit needs Matlab 7.0 or higher. It has been tested under 7.0 to 7.14 (R2012a), but mainly under Windows. The command-line functions (e.g. ezfit, showfit...) work equally well on all systems. However graphical operations (e.g. getslope, showslope...) may not be fully stable, especially on non-Windows systems.
1. Download and unzip the EzyFit Toolbox in a directory somewhere in your system. For instance, in a Windows installation, the directory Documents/MATLAB/toolbox/ezyfit may be a good location. Do NOT install the toolbox in the Matlab directory itself (Program Files/Matlab directory in Windows). If you upgrade from an older version, first empty the previous directory.
2. From the menu 'File > Set Path', click on 'Add Folder' (not 'with subfolders') and select the ezyfit directory. Click on 'Save' and 'Close'.
3. Restart Matlab. From the Start button, select Toolboxes > EzyFit to check that the toolbox is correctly recognized by your system.
4. If you want to always have the Ezyfit menu in your figures, type efmenu install. This will create or update your 'startup.m' file in the main user directory of your Matlab installation.
Note: If you upgrade Matlab and you want to use your previous Ezyfit installation, you just have to follow the steps 2-4.

setuid - set user identity
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int setuid(uid_t uid);
setuid() sets the effective user ID of the calling process. If the
calling process is privileged (more precisely: if the process has the
CAP_SETUID capability in its user namespace), the real UID and saved
set-user-ID are also set.
Under Linux, setuid() is implemented like the POSIX version
with the _POSIX_SAVED_IDS feature. This allows a set-user-ID (other
than root) program to drop all of its user privileges, do some un-privileged
work, and then reengage the original effective user ID in a secure
manner.
If the user is root or the program is set-user-ID-root, special
care must be taken: setuid() checks the effective user ID of the
caller and if it is the superuser, all process-related user ID's are set to
uid. After this has occurred, it is impossible for the program to
regain root privileges.
Thus, a set-user-ID-root program wishing to temporarily drop root
privileges, assume the identity of an unprivileged user, and then regain
root privileges afterward cannot use setuid(). You can accomplish
this with seteuid(2).
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set
appropriately.
Note: there are cases where setuid() can fail even
when the caller is UID 0; it is a grave security error to omit checking for
a failure return from setuid().
- EAGAIN
- The call would change the caller's real UID (i.e., uid does not
match the caller's real UID), but there was a temporary failure allocating
the necessary kernel data structures.
- EAGAIN
- uid does not match the real user ID of the caller and this call
would bring the number of processes belonging to the real user ID
uid over the caller's RLIMIT_NPROC resource limit. Since
Linux 3.1, this error case no longer occurs (but robust applications
should check for this error); see the description of EAGAIN in
execve(2).
- EINVAL
- The user ID specified in uid is not valid in this user
namespace.
- EPERM
- The user is not privileged (Linux: does not have the CAP_SETUID
capability in its user namespace) and uid does not match the real
UID or saved set-user-ID of the calling process.
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, SVr4. Not quite compatible with the 4.4BSD call,
which sets all of the real, saved, and effective user IDs.
Linux has the concept of the filesystem user ID, normally equal to the effective
user ID. The setuid() call also sets the filesystem user ID of the
calling process. See setfsuid(2).
If uid is different from the old effective UID, the process
will be forbidden from leaving core dumps.
The original Linux setuid() system call supported only
16-bit user IDs. Subsequently, Linux 2.4 added setuid32() supporting
32-bit IDs. The glibc setuid() wrapper function transparently deals
with the variation across kernel versions.
At the kernel level, user IDs and group IDs are a per-thread attribute. However,
POSIX requires that all threads in a process share the same credentials. The
NPTL threading implementation handles the POSIX requirements by providing
wrapper functions for the various system calls that change process UIDs and
GIDs. These wrapper functions (including the one for setuid()) employ a
signal-based technique to ensure that when one thread changes credentials, all
of the other threads in the process also change their credentials. For
details, see nptl(7).

IIR_Filter
Author : Bernard Schutz
Version : 1.0
Input Types : VectorType
Output Types : VectorType
Date : 21 Feb 2002
Contents
Description of IIR_Filter
The unit called IIR_Filter applies a direct* IIR filter to the input data
set. The filter is defined by the user giving two sets of coefficients
{a(j)} and {b(j)}, which are applied to the input data {x(j)} to produce
output data {y(j)}by the formula
y(n) = a(0)x(n) + a(1)x(n-1) + a(2)x(n-2) + ... - b(0)y(n-1) - b(1)y(n-2)
- ... (NB: our convention is that the b*y terms are subtracted)
This is re-applied at each value of n.
The user can select whether to continue the data values {x(n)} and {y(n)}
across the successive data sets. When the algorithm starts on a new data
set it assumes that earlier values of x and y (i.e. x(-1), y(-1), etc)
are all zero.
For more information, see the help file on time-domain
filtering in Triana.
Using FIR_Filter
IIR_Filter's parameter
window (double-click on the unit) is used to set the filter coefficients
{a(j)}and {b(j)}. The user enters any number of coefficients, separated
by spaces. The order of the filter is assumed to be the number of such
coefficients in the two sequences, which do not have to be the same length.
The user can also choose whether to continue the filter from one data set
to the next when the unit is accepting successive data sets. This option
is selected by default. If each input should be treated as a new set then
the check-box should be un-checked. The user must choose the filter coefficients
according to what kind of effect is desired. Special care should be exercised
in choosing the sequence {b(j)}, so that the filter remains stable.
*A "direct" filter is applied by convolution on the input
data values. It does not use Fourier techniques. However, the input data
set is allowed to be any VectorType,
so that it could be time-series data or spectral data.


Nations Cup champion Fraga knocked out of Gran Turismo World Finals
by Jonathan NobleReigning Gran Turismo Nations Cup champion Igor Fraga suffered a shock exit from the World Finals in Monaco on Friday as a result of a first-corner spin.
Fraga, who was a race winner in the Formula Regional European Championship this year, started the weekend as one of the pre-event favourites, but it all went wrong within seconds of the start of his semi-final heat at the Red Bull Ring.
Running behind main rival Mikail Hizal through the opening corner, Fraga ran over the sausage kerb on the exit and was pitched into a spin that put him in the barriers.
He dropped to last place, three seconds off the back of the field, and needed a top-seven finish to keep himself in the event and get a second shot in the Repechage race.
But despite a spirited recovery as he hauled himself back up to 10th, he could not move up far enough before the chequered flag so will not be a part of Sunday's final.
Hizal, who went on to take a comfortable victory, later consoled the dejected Fraga - with whom he has shared a long rivalry in the Gran Turismo events.
Australian Cody Nikola Latkovski triumphed in the second semi-final at Dragon Trail Seaside, while Takuma Miyazono won the third semi-final.
American Daniel Solis clinched his place in Sunday's final event with victory in the Repechage race at Laguna Seca.
The action in Monaco was overseen by world champion Lewis Hamilton, who has just launched a series of official time trial events for the Gran Turismo Sport series.
Hamilton, partnered by Fraga, finished third in a special Pro Am race around Spa-Francorchamps.


Now that I was in the swing of things, I could review the topics and see what needed to be done. These were the 14 topics that we were assigned to learn. Java Collections, JUnit Tests, Threads, Executors, and Runnables, System Level Tests, Use Case Diagrams, Use Case Documents, Application Controller Pattern, MVC, Hibernate, State Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, QCJSON and JSON, Android HttpUrlConnection, Servlets.
In the interest of time I won’t be going over everything single thing I have learned over the past 14 weeks but I will talk about a few key principles that I learned and their impact on my professional and personal life.
Servlets
Servlets was a topic that I really took a liking to. I am a big fan of web development and it is always fun to see classes tied together. I can use information and knowledge from CIT 230 to help demonstrate a higher learning. Not only can I show what I have learned in the Java language, I can also show mastery over basic HTML and front end development. It is also amazing to see how the java language interacts with the website and servlets is a good example of how multiple languages come together.
Advantages of a Java Servlet
Servlet is faster than CGI as it doesn’t involve the creation of a new process for every new request received.
Servlets as written in Java are platform independent.
Removes the overhead of creating a new process for each request as Servlet doesn’t run in a separate process. There is only a single instance which handles all requests concurrently. This also saves the memory and allows a Servlet to easily manage client state.
It is a server-side component, so Servlet inherits the security provided by the Web server.
The API designed for Java Servlet automatically acquires the advantages of Java platform such as platform independent and portability. In addition, it obviously can use the wide range of APIs created on Java platform such as JDBC to access the database.

This website contains great basic knowledge on servlets and how to get started. It is a guide I used while creating my own program. Here is what I created for my own program. It is simple but meets the requirements!
MVC – My favorite so far
I started to learn about MVC during week 4 which I know is late but things came up and it pushed me. The reason why I really enjoyed MVC is because the concept clicked at the very beginning. The idea of having a program with a “program” between the data and the client view makes so much sense to me. It also adds another layer of protection for both client and data.
Even though this was my favorite topic so far, I did run into an issue since I created a program had the model, view and controller all in the same program and while it demonstrated understanding of the topics principle, it missed an important aspect of MVC which requires all parts to be seperated.
I really enjoyed this topic and the links to my prestation can be found here.
Teamwork makes the dream work!
through out this class I did struggle and I am sure that I am not alone in that. There were many different topics that came up that were confusing and didn't click. I credit a lot of my success to my group because they were there (the ones who didn't drop out) to help me and not just with the assigned presentation. There were many that I reached out to personally and asked for assistance. Hibernate really confused me and didn't make a lot of sense but with the help of my team I was able to get basic.
This might also be a side note but, since this is my last class the way the grade looks every week scares me! I looked over my past journal entries for this class and this is something that came up a lot. I still am just hoping that everything works out in the end.

Any Given Sunday: all the longest yards
Any Given Sunday opens tight on the ball, pre-snap, and if it wasn't in widescreen we might think it's really just Sunday afternoon again. But then there's the tribal music pounding in, which, along with all the fancy camerawork, is a giveaway that this is Oliver Stone football. Meaning lots of stylized slow-motion and upbeat sounds, working contrapuntally to lend a little magic to the gridiron. It's the same kind of opening Speilberg uses with Saving Private Ryan, where we're on the beaches of Normandy for the first twenty-five minutes or so, getting lost in the battle, (i.e., acclimatized to WWII) only here the battle is between men wearing regulation pads, coaches chewing high-blood pressure meds like candy. It lasts just as long as Spielberg's Normandy, though, if not longer, and, as that opening game is rendered so well, so indulgently, our critical faculties are dulled the littlest bit, just enough to where we won't necessarily question all that comes after. It's a common trick, (Ludivico Treatment, yes) though only the big-name directors seem to have enough pull with the studios to get away with it. The rest have to do as The Last Boy Scout does, and try to compress it all into one five-minute sequence. Which results in things like Billy Cole using a pistol on the playing field, which, yes, illustrates the kinds of pressure these guys are under quite effectively, but at the cost of other things best not sacrificed.
Once things get started with Any Given Sunday, however--and in spite of all the camerawork--it's all pigskins and dollar signs, (and cameos) or, better yet, the friction between pigskins and dollar signs. As Coach D'Amato (Pacino, still hoarse from The Insider) says, football irrevocably changed the first time a time-out was called for a commercial. As he sees it, TV is killing the game, but then, too, the game he's talking about is the game of his youth, all tinted with Lombardian nostalgia, 'pure,' not at all the same game his third-string 'star' quarterback Willie Beaman (Jamie Foxx) is playing, which caters to the cameras. As any good hero must be, too, he's more or less alone in his thinking: neither do his players seem to agree with him, nor does his boss, hard-driving owner Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz). Yet he's got a season to win. And if that wasn't enough stacked against him, he also seems to be dealing with it in all the generic self-destructive ways (bourbon, Elizabeth Berkley).
And yes, his dilemma is the crux of the movie upon which everything else turns, but to understand it you have to look away from him, not to Jerry Maguire or Love of the Game or any of the other sports-type vehicles, but deeper into Any Given Sunday itself, the minor characters whom Stone uses very effectively, for a change. Specifically, the little dynamic going on between Dr. Mandrake (James Woods) and Dr. Powers (Matthew Modine), a dynamic wherein the younger slowly becomes the older, in spite of his efforts not to. Stone just slips this in as if it's happenstance, filler, but it's anything but: instead of just distracting us for a few moments with good acting (Woods and Modine) or venting the tension of the previous scene or anything like that, the Mandrake/Powers dynamic presents in its barest terms what's fundamentally going on in the rest of Any Given Sunday: the ritual torch-passing. This is Stone, after all; ritual does comes first, last, and in the middle. And not just for Mandrake and Powers, but for Pagniacci and her dead father; for Beaman and aging quarterback Cap Rooney (Everybody's All American Dennis Quaid, still making faces like Doc Holliday); and last, for D'Amato and his idol, the venerable Vince Lombardi. Everybody's slowly (170 min.) turning into someone else, on-screen, and, to Stone's credit, it works, though it might have worked better without the redemptive coda. But so be it. At least Any Given Sunday never falls into the pit of hero worship, never tries to deal head-on with the social issues involved with gladiator sports. And yes, it is a seriously long movie, but it had to be, too. Otherwise all the music wouldn't have fit.

The goal of the problem is to find an equation composed of numbers 0-9 and operators '+-*/' that would produce the goal number. This is my naive implementation of THIS tutorial (read it for details). You can get the source HERE.
Note: for the sake of simplicity, calculation only works with integers rounding down. So 7/3 = 2 and 5/4 = 0.

Russia opposes initiative on expanding Normandy format
The leaders of the Normandy Four states – Ukraine, France, Germany, and Russia – are scheduled to meet in Paris, France, on December 9.
Moscow has opposed the initiative on expanding the Normandy format of talks (which now includes Russia, Germany, Ukraine, and France), believing the Donbas settlement depends only on the fulfillment of decisions made earlier.
"We treat this idea negatively, for us the format is out of question," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told TASS on Monday, commenting on a statement by David Hale, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, who suggested expanding the Normandy format of talks.
"There is no need in searching for an alternative. We need to follow two tracks: the security track – to complete the disengagement of forces, and the political track – to launch the process by implementing the 'Steinmeier formula' and adopt other decisions, which would guarantee a permanent and stable special status," Grushko said.
Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Dmytro Razumkov earlier said a new bill on the special status of Donbas would be developed after the Normandy Four summit. "I think, as the president promised, after the Normandy summit we will be able to join the process more globally, together with Ukrainian society, to make it a high quality bill," he said.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the leaders of the Normandy Four states – Ukraine, France, Germany, and Russia – are scheduled to meet in Paris, France, on December 9.

When it comes to changing the chart size based on the window size, a major limitation is that the canvas render size (canvas.width
and .height
) can not be expressed with relative values, contrary to the display size (canvas.style.width
and .height
). Furthermore, these sizes are independent from each other and thus the canvas render size does not adjust automatically based on the display size, making the rendering inaccurate.
The following examples do not work:
<canvas height="40vh" width="80vw">
: invalid values, the canvas doesn’t resize (example)<canvas style="height:40vh; width:80vw">
: invalid behavior, the canvas is resized but becomes blurry (example)<canvas style="margin: 0 auto;">
: invalid behavior, the canvas continually shrinks. Chart.js needs a dedicated container for each canvas and this styling should be applied there.Chart.js provides a few options to enable responsiveness and control the resize behavior of charts by detecting when the canvas display size changes and update the render size accordingly.
Namespace: options
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
responsive |
boolean |
true |
Resizes the chart canvas when its container does (important note…). |
maintainAspectRatio |
boolean |
true |
Maintain the original canvas aspect ratio (width / height) when resizing. |
aspectRatio |
number |
2 |
Canvas aspect ratio (i.e. width / height , a value of 1 representing a square canvas). Note that this option is ignored if the height is explicitly defined either as attribute or via the style. |
onResize |
function |
null |
Called when a resize occurs. Gets passed two arguments: the chart instance and the new size. |
resizeDelay |
number |
0 |
Delay the resize update by give amount of milliseconds. This can ease the resize process by debouncing update of the elements. |
Detecting when the canvas size changes can not be done directly from the canvas
element. Chart.js uses its parent container to update the canvas render and display sizes. However, this method requires the container to be relatively positioned and dedicated to the chart canvas only. Responsiveness can then be achieved by setting relative values for the container size (example):
<div
class="chart-container"
style="position: relative; height:40vh; width:80vw"
>
<canvas id="chart"></canvas>
</div>
The chart can also be programmatically resized by modifying the container size:
Note that in order for the above code to correctly resize the chart height, the maintainAspectRatio
option must also be set to false
.
CSS media queries allow changing styles when printing a page. The CSS applied from these media queries may cause charts to need to resize. However, the resize won’t happen automatically. To support resizing charts when printing, you need to hook the onbeforeprint event and manually trigger resizing of each chart.
You may also find that, due to complexities in when the browser lays out the document for printing and when resize events are fired, Chart.js is unable to properly resize for the print layout. To work around this, you can pass an explicit size to .resize()
then use an onafterprint event to restore the automatic size when done.

fil_finder is intended for use on astronomical images for detecting and analyzing filamentary structure in molecular clouds. Our method is largely based on mathematical morphology. When properly tuned, it is capable of extracting a complete catalog of filaments from an image over the complete range of intensities.
This class acts as an overall wrapper to run the fil-finder algorithm on 2D images and enables visualization and saving capabilities.
>>> from fil_finder import fil_finder_2D
>>> img,hdr = fromfits("/srv/astro/erickoch/gould_belt/chamaeleonI-250.fits")
>>> filfind = fil_finder_2D(img, hdr, 15.1, 30, 5, 10, 95 ,distance=160,
region_slice=[620,1400,430,1700])
>>> filfind.run(verbose=False, save_name="chamaeleonI-250", save_plots=True)
This function wraps most of the skeleton analysis. Several steps are completed here:
- isolatefilaments is run to separate each skeleton into its own array. If the skeletons are under the threshold set by self.size_thresh, the region is removed. An updated mask is also returned.
- pix_identify classifies each of the pixels in a skeleton as a body, end, or interestion point. See the documentation on find_filpix for a complete explanation. The function labels the branches and intersections of each skeletons.
- init_lengths finds the length of each branch in each skeleton and also returns the coordinates of each of these branches for use in the graph representation.
- pre_graph turns the skeleton structures into a graphing format compatible with networkx. Hubs in the graph are the intersections and end points, labeled as letters and numbers respectively. Edges define the connectivity of the hubs and they are weighted by their length.
- longest_path utilizes networkx.shortest_path_length to find the overall length of each of the filaments. The returned path is the longest path through the skeleton. If loops exist in the skeleton, the longest path is chosen (this shortest path algorithm fails when used on loops).
- extremum_pts returns the locations of the longest path’s extent so its performance can be evaluated.
- final_lengths takes the path returned from longest_path and calculates the overall length of the filament. This step also acts as to prune the skeletons. Any branch shorter than self.branch_thresh is deleted. The function also returns an experimental method for determining the curvature of the filament(see routines in curvature.py for explanation of the Menger Curvature). Note: The results of the Menger Curvature are not in a current form that they may be reliably used.
- final_analysis combines the outputs and returns the results for further analysis.
This runs the complete segmentation process and returns a mask of the filaments found. The process is broken into six steps:
- An arctan tranform is taken to flatten extremely bright regions. Adaptive thresholding is very sensitive to local intensity changes and small, bright objects(ie. cores) will leave patch-sized holes in the mask.
- The flattened image is smoothed over with a median filter. The size of the patch used here is set to be much smaller than the typical filament width. Smoothing is necessary to minimizing extraneous branches when the medial axis transform is taken.
- A binary opening is performed using an 8-connected structure element. This is very successful at removing small regions around the edge of the data.
- Objects smaller than a certain threshold (set to be ~1/10 the area of a small filament) are removed to ensure only regions which are sufficiently large enough to be real structure remain.
- Finally, a binary closing is used with an 8-connected structure element. This restores the sizes of the remaining regions in the image.
The parameters for this function are as previously defined. They are included here for fine-tuning purposes only.
The final step of the algorithm is to find the widths of each of the skeletons. We do this by:
- A Euclidean Distance Transform (scipy.ndarray.distance_transform_edt) is performed on each skeleton. The skeletons are also recombined onto a single array. The individual filament arrays are padded to ensure a proper radial profile is created. If the padded arrays fall outside of the original image, they are trimmed.
- A gaussian is fit to each of the radial profiles. This returns the width and central intensity of each filament. The reported widths are the deconvolved FWHM of the gaussian width. For faint filaments, the fit has a tendency to fail due to lack of data to fit to. In this case, the distance transform from the medial axis transform(self.medial_axis_distance) may be used to provide an estimate of the width.
This function performs the medial axis transform (skeletonization) on the mask. This is essentially a wrapper function of skimage.morphology.medial_axis. The returned skeletons are the objects used for the bulk of the analysis.
If the distance transform is returned from the transform, it is used as a pruning step. Regions where the width of a region are far too small (set to >0.01 pc) are deleted. This ensures there no unnecessary connections between filaments.
Since failed fits a denoted by a string, this function separates out the failed fits. The widths which are unrealistic (width>length), are also labeled as a fit fail. The realistic widths are added to the overall lengths. This is done because of the slight shortening of each skeleton by the skeletonization process.
The whole algorithm in one easy step. Individual parameters have not been included in this batch run. If fine-tuning is needed, it is recommended to run each step individually. This currently contains the saving portion of the plots. This will be changed and updated in the near future.
This function saves the mask and the skeleton array as FITS files. Included in the header are the setting used to create them.
Creates saved PDF plots of several quantities/images.
The results of the algorithm are saved as a csv after converting the data into a pandas dataframe.

Patras is one of the largest cities in Greece and its harbour is a lively, noisy place. It is situated in the northwest Peloponnesus on the Gulf of Patras, an inlet of the Ionian Sea. This gulf connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Ionian Sea.
For full details on clearing into our out of Greece see Greek Formalities.
The authorities needed for clearing in/out are all close to the quay.
Visitors should make for the yacht harbour, north of the harbour, where the the old caique basin has been converted into a marina. Berth where directed but beware of the shallows close to the quay.
The visitors' pontoon is subject to some swell. The minimum stay is 2 nights with discounts for longer stays. Water, electricity and shower facilities are included in the charge.
Alternatively, if may be possible to moor stern-to or alongside on the northern side of the central mole (opposite the castle). Shelter is good but the wash from the constant movement of tugs and other workboats does cause a lot of surge. The holding is good.

No director in recent memory has been as villified as Joel Schumacher, the man responsible for the universally reviled "Batman and Robin." In truth, Schumacher has made some stylish entertainments in his day, including "Flatliners," "The Lost Boys," "Cousins" and "The Client," but to read some of the criticisms leveled against him on various Web sites, you'd think he was responsible for genocide rather than for killing off a movie franchise.
Faced with such derision, Schumacher might have seen "8mm" as a chance to restore his artistic credibility. Instead, the movie turns out to be an even bigger embarrassment than "Batman and Robin"; it's far more pretentious and self-important, and displays almost no hint of Schumacher's usually dead-on visual sense.
In terms of its content, "8mm" is closer to the infamous howler "Hardcore," in which George C. Scott plays a Grand Rapids Bible-beater who cruises Hollywood looking for his trampy daughter, than to "Boogie Nights." Even the setup borders on the ridiculous as private eye Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage, in his dullest performance since "Zandalee") is hired by a rich widow - named Mrs. Christian, just to make sure we all get the point - to determine whether or not a film she found in her late husband's vault features a genuine sex slaying.
Why's she so concerned? Who knows? The request is just an excuse to send Welles into a seamy underworld of sex for sale, where he teams up with streetwise Max (Joaquin Phoenix) to find the sinister sleaze merchants responsible for the movie. Andrew Kevin Walker's lethargic screenplay has to throw in such cliches as a secret diary and a fight to the death in a graveyard just to move its plot forward.
The second half of "8mm" turns into a sort of "Pornman and Robin" as our intrepid heroes are manhandled, handcuffed to beds, tied to crosses and threatened with all manner of debauchery. Meanwhile, Welles' wife Amy (Catherine Keener) drops in occasionally to bleat such time-honored standards as "why didn't you call me?" and "I can't go on like this!" offering some credence to Tom's heterosexuality as Schumacher routinely - and teasingly - makes it seem as if Tom and Max are moments away from wrinkling the sheets together.
Despite numerous shots of bondage gear and women in chains, "8mm" has little information to reveal about the S&M culture, and what information it does present is served up with sanctimony.
Come back, Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy. All is forgiven.

BEAN (1997) A movie review by Chuck Dowling Copyright 1997 Chuck's Movie Reviews
Bean (1997) ** out of ***** - Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Peter MacNichol, Burt Reynolds, Harris Yulin, Pamela Reed, Larry Drake. Written by: Richard Curtis and Robin Driscoll. Directed by: Mel Smith. Running Time: 90 minutes.
You would think that this film's dismal failure would be due to American filmmakers getting hold of a brilliant British comedy and "Americanizing" it. You'd be wrong, since full blame can be placed on the very folks who wrote and created the series: Rowan Atkinson, Robin Driscoll, and Richard Curtis. Should you ever happen to meet those chaps, do me a favor. Grab them by the hair and yell really loudly in their ear, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!  Then walk away.
The film concerns Mr. Bean (Atkinson) and his visit to America while escorting the painting of "Whistler's Mother" to an American buyer (played by Burt Reynolds, in the type of bit part that his success in "Boogie NIghts" should hopefully do away with). Now how or why Mr. Bean is sent on this trip makes no sense, and I can't even describe how the film explains it. The point is that Mr. Bean comes to America and causes wacky trouble.
Problems problems problems, where to begin? First, the score music from the TV show has been completely replaced by score that is either at times one note away from the score from "Beetlejuice" or one note away from the score from "Rob Roy". Then, the song choices are totally uninspired. "Good Vibrations"? "I Love L.A."? Wow, don't put any thought into that guys. Also, Bean makes WAY too much noise in the film. The character doesn't speak much, but in the series you really only heard the laughter of the audience, and maybe the occasional murmur from Mr. Bean. Each episode was like a Chaplin silent movie. In the film, Bean is constantly moaning, grunting, whining, etc. It's annoying, and just plain wrong for the character. The main problem though is that it's just not funny. With each episode of the series there would be dozens of really great laughs crammed into less than 30 minutes. Multiply that running time by three however, and the laughs steadily decrease. They even have the gaul to REPEAT jokes from the series. Sad, and creatively lazy.
As a series, "Mr. Bean" only ran for about 13 episodes or so. Why on earth did Atkinson and the gang decide it was time to completely rework everything? 13 half-hour episodes certainly hadn't exhausted all possible situations. All I can say positively for the film at this point is that it's almost appropriate for all ages, if it wasn't for a couple of scenes where it appears as though Mr. Bean is having sex with things. And even that isn't a very positive statement. Please guys, go back to England and go back to television so you'll make me laugh again. [PG-13]
